I would like to take this up, are there any steps to reproduce this?

[edublancas]

I encounter this when fixing another Windows bug, unfortunately, I don't have a Windows machine right now but I think you can reproduce it with this:

1. install ploomber
2. Download this example https://github.com/ploomber/projects/tree/master/spec-api-python
3. Change the pipeline.yaml file, line 18 for output/plot.html https://github.com/ploomber/projects/blob/33122dd49acd47c0b5370921f6d6574a4693c0c5/spec-api-python/pipeline.yaml#L13
4. Run "ploomber build" in the directory that has the pipeline.yaml
5. Run "ploomber build" again

Let me know if the error appears
